The best restaurants serving Italian food in City Centre Manchester North West

I've seen this place serve Ethiopian food for a while now and always wanted to give it a go. I did just that the other day, ordering injera with vegetarian sides, as a takeaway. The injera were very filling, the sides were varied and tasty. The owners/staff were lovely and I felt it was extremely good value for money. I'd recommend anyone give this a go, I certainly will again.

From the moment we entered the restaurant, the service were friendly and welcoming. The food was piping hot and delicious. They did get the cocktail order wrong but, this was quickly resolved. Will definitely return next time we visit Manchester. Lovely, somewhat hidden gem that is away from the hustle and bustle and offers a quieter atmosphere to the larger restaurants in the surrounding area.

This is now my favourite coffee place in Manchester. It's a little hidden because the building is covered in scaffolding and the entrance looks like you need a pass but you don't at all. Once in it's worth it! They also do delicious lunch time food and pastries and it's really good value. Staff are super friendly and dealt with my awkward food intolerances brilliantly.

Was took to a table waited 10min nobody come to us so we walked out know way to run a restaurant

Pizza was average at best. Very soggy in the middle. Waitress dropped dirty cutlery on me, no apology.

Lovely find and will certainly be back. Food amazing and staff are also amazing. We had prawn cocktail and bruschetta to start and pasta dish and steak for mains. All piping hot and really tasty. I like the fact they do the pasta dishes in two sizes so I had a smaller portion as a main dish which was ample! Atmosphere and staff make this place and we will be returning. Highly recommended. Special mention to our waiter Max. Nothing was too much trouble.

The decor is stunning at this restaurant and the service was second to non! Food was very nice and great selection of wines and cocktails. Only thing was we were a couple so were sat very closely to another couple, and worst of all it was right near the kitchen where the fish are, let me tell you it was freezing!!! Shivering the whole time I was sat there had to get my partners coat and wrap it round me. Secondly, even though the food was nice, the portion sizes are a joke! We got two starters which were lovely, but then our main came. I got bolognese and my partner got arribiatta, and let me tell you barely anything was in my bowl, if we didn't get dessert we would not have been full at all, and for what they are charging it was a bit cheeky. Other than that dessert was gorgeous and did the job, but yeah my criticism is just go and enjoy the food but don't expect big portions for the price.

I visited the Slice pizza at Oxford Road station (not the one pictured on here), and I'd just like to say what a lovely experience I had. I was greeted by a lovely young man wearing glasses, I think his name was Wilf. He was friendly, professional and nothing was too much trouble. It's really lovely to experience such good customer service. I would visit again in light of this. Pizza was also delicious. Thanks

Excellent service, friendly and cheerful staff. Food was lovely and catered for my allergies. Lovely atmosphere and pleasant evening had by all.

Went here on a Saturday night for a works Christmas party good service from start to finish the food was fantastic good choice of wine and beers nice and central for manchester

I had an amazing dining experience at Italiana Fifty Five. The food was delicious, with rich flavors and beautiful presentation. Our waiter, Felix, truly made the evening special—his friendly and attentive service added a personal touch to our meal. He was knowledgeable about the menu and gave excellent recommendations. I highly recommend Italiana Fifty Five, and I’ll definitely be back, especially if Felix is there to make the experience even better!
